Last month before break we had the opportunity to write letters to thesoldiers, which I feel is always something they will enjoy so I gladly do it whenever Iget the chance to. As we sat around laughing and joking, per usual when we all gettogether, we also wondered what to write. Some of our letters had funny little quipsin them and others had serious sentiments, but all of us realized that what we weredoing, no matter how small the gesture is, makes a huge difference in their lives. Ourletter writing had me feeling grateful for the family I have, at home and up here. MyAPO family is so important to me and I couldn’t imagine life without my brothers. AsI sit writing this at the end of the semester I know that many of our brothers aremoving on to greater things and I will miss them dearly, because without each andevery one of my brothers in the greatest family every I wouldn’t enjoy it nearly asmuch. So as much as these soldiers may miss their families, I know I will miss myfamily as more of them move away and move on to greater things and move away. Iwish my whole family the best and hope their future holds nothing but the best forthem.
